>> a lot of rain on the road today. >> in some cases it's falling already. >> if we go in closer, there we go. we have quite a bit of rain in around wilmington

south ever wilmington there is lightning. if i start this up you can see it slowly moving towards the northeast. philadelphiaing just about ready to pick up some of this, too. and then you see over by the shore, some thunderstorms producing even heavier rain. most of these north of atlantic city. but if you're in surf city to sea side heights that will not be much longer. northern suburbs specled precipitation. not as intense as we're seeing further south. this is just setting the table rain because later this afternoon we'll get into a whole other round and that could be heavier. as we look outside we have sky6 from our new sky6 camera at temple university looking sfrounl broad and you can see the clouds in place even in areas it may not be totally wet yet. but as i just showed you on radar there's another round of rain way up the 95 corridor and beginning to move to city. temperature now is 70. dew point high well above 60 degree threshold for humid air.

muggy out. there winds out of the south at 9 miles an hour. newt tour tracker 6 says we will be dealing with heavy rain for the first part,el ly part of rush hour. by the time we get past 8 or 9:00 we're back to mainly cloudy skies and beginning to dry out a little bit. up until noon, mainly dry. although on the look yut for redevelopment of additional showers and thunderstorms north and west and we get into the 3:00 hour. again it won't be raining everywhere. where it is, it is potentially coming down ever hade. this is all because of a frontal boundary off north that will be slowly settling right through the region as we go through the afternoon and evening. speaking of which -- god bless you -- speaking of which as we get closer to the dinner hour, 5, 6:00 showers start to spread out along the i-95 corridor. heavy drenching thunderstorms possible and thunderstorms not out of the question and until 11 we're dealing with a front i mentioned slowly pushing through. as we look at the possibility of severe weather, it's fairly low.

but there is the chance that some thunderstorms that form produce strong, gusty winds. i think the biggest risk, though will be the heavy downpour. lightning certainly a possibility wherever there's a thunderstorm and yes moderate chance of strong winds and downpours being biggest threat. as we look at where temperatures are going today 75 by 8, by 11:00, 80 and by 2:00, 83 that is muggy high, by 5:00, 75 and still looking at potential of thunderstorms and showers. your exclusive accuweather 7-day forecast. 8. muggy, heavy rain at times. be careful when it's coming down. street flooding and especially during the afternoon and evening. that continues fairly heavy into the overnight hours and then tomorrow we get some rain lingering especially in the morning. but a much cooler, comfortable high of 70 and we should be drying out gradually as the day goes on. wednesday, thursday look like a couple nice days then. 73 and 75 for two highs those

days. pleasant conditions and friday, back up to 81 with perhaps a popup shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon. and more of the same for the weekend. 83 saturday, sunday, 78 and both days could feature a spotty shower or thunderstorm. >> thanks, david. >> new video here in the form of surveillance showing a car going airborne over i over a row of cars before crashing into an auto repair end up in toronto. this happened yesterday morningch the driver may have slammed on accelerator when he meant to hit the brakes. he was seriously hurt and is expected to survivech the repair shop was danaged and many exotic cars in the parking lot were unscathed. >> time for morning business and gas prices continue to go up. price at the pump is four cents more than two weeks ago and 35 cents higher than the past five. good news it could head back down after the peak of summer driving season more refineries are expected to come back online that could help stabilize prices. we have smart phones, smart
